I noticed today after uploading the last few had "computation error" after them. I downloaded more work, then discovered all the downloaded work had "computation error" following them. Here is what the messages say:
6/24/2005 9:31:35 PM|SETI@home|CreateProcess() failed - The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. (0x20)

Any idea what the other process is or why SETI stopped running?

Just keep looking up!!!

Take a look here: http://boinc-doc.net/_phpMyFAQ/index.php?action=artikel&cat=291825&id=459&artlang=en
It may help explain what has happened.
Paul D. Bucks' site (http://boinc-doc.net) is an invaluable source of information.

Thanks, Mike. I feel like a rank beginner. I knew that if it acts screwy, just reboot. But I forgot this time. So, I did, it seems to be working with one unit running, two ready to run and five or so more downloading. I just have to drill it into my head AGAIN: Before giving the computer a swift kick with your boot, reboot. Patsy
